The UK Asbestos Training Association is to run an interactive training event inside a courtroom in Nottingham in October.
In collaboration with PCR Global Limited, Sewell Law and Ropewalk Chambers, UKATA is staging a full-day interactive and informative event featuring industry updates and a live mock trial.
Kicking off the day, former HSE inspector Emma Wilkinson of PCR Global Limited will present a discussion on what to do “when an inspector calls”.
This will be followed by an update on recent asbestos cases and a discussion on where we are now with mesothelioma by experienced defence solicitors, Gordon Sewell and Jennifer Sewell of Sewell Law.
Jack McCracken, barrister at Nottingham’s Ropewalk Chambers, a specialist in the industrial disease field, will assume the role of Judge and preside over the Victorian Courtroom as delegates are sworn in as a member of the jury. Witnesses will be called to give live evidence to the Court and be challenged under cross examination. Delegates will decide the defendant’s fate, after which Judge McCraken explain how sentencing of a Director or senior manager works if a guilty verdict is reached. He may even hand over the sentencing to the jury.
